IG VII2 As the number of Boiotian inscriptions has nearly doubled since the days of Dittenberger, a new edition is currently under preparation as joint project of the French School at Athens and the Inscriptiones Graecae of the Berlin Academy. The new corpus of the inscriptions of central Boiotia will be published in several fascicles⁠1: Thebes, and Plataia; Thisbe; Koroneia; Haliartos, Lebadeia and smaller cities such as Anthedon, Chorsiai and Siphai. “The corpus of inscriptions from central Boeotia will include a systematic presentation of philological and epigraphic sources on the region, and will be accompanied by a database containing a catalogue of the inscriptions posted and updated online, allowing researchers working in the area access to modern tools for the study of this rich and varied epigraphic material.”
